Christianity and Trails

James 1:2-8 looks at Christian’s attitude toward trials. “My brethren, count it all joy

when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces pa-

tience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete,

lacking nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God who gives to all lib-

erty and without reproach and it will be given to him but let him ask in faith with no

doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For

let not that man, suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-

minded man, unstable in all his ways.”

OBSERVE:

“Count it all joy”. The joy of trials come when one stays faithful through trials. It

brings joy when one comes through a trial with his eyes still focused on Jesus. “But we

see Jesus, who was made a little lower that the angels for the suffering of death crowned

with glory and honor that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for every-

one.” (Hebrews 2:9)

“Let patience have its perfect work.” Patience is the quality of perseverance or stead-

fastness (Romans 6:3-5). Patience has to do with our loyalty or commitment to God.

Patience leads to Christian maturity.

“Let him ask of God—wisdom.” Christians go to God to gain the wisdom necessary to

deal with trials. “No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man;

but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able but

with the temptation will also make the way of escape that you may be able to bear

it.” (1 Cor. 10:13)

Let him ask in faith”. Without faith, Christians cannot please God (Hebrews 11:6). Do

not allow trials to cause you to doubt God or His care and love for you. Always believe

that God knows what is best for you, wants what is best for you and is active to bring

about what is best.

The person who doesn’t have faith in God through trials is unstable and vacillating be-

cause of being “double-minded.” With a strong faith, always anchored in God, Chris-

tians can say with Paul, “My God shall supply all your needs according to His riches

in glory by Christ Jesus (Phil. 4:19). Trials will come but God is there caring, loving

helping and blessing through good times and bad.

Pray don’t find fault with the man who limps

or stumbles along the road,

Unless you have worn the shoes he wears or

struggled beneath his load.

There may be tacks in his shoes that hurt,

though hidden away from view,

Or the burden he bears, placed on your back

Might cause you to stumble, too.
